I Like To Think...

[1ozzy]

... that even though I'm antipodean these days ( have been so for a long time) I still have a bit of a grasp of the English language, as spoken by real English people.

Answerbank has been a great help in fine tuning my eloquence, but, I'm wondering which member/members of Answerbank should I put the most credence in when trying to brush up on my oratory skills.

Any suggestions?

well it aint me lol x

[1ozzy]

You kidding girl??

You were top of my list!

With the history of transportation to your adopted home and his tales of life behind bars it would surely be EDDIE51, Ozzy.

furry bits yae fae in Oz?

[spathiphyllum]

Well... they must worship St George to be fully English.. Surely? Have the blinding pride n all dat?

Must be ToraToraTora, surely? PMSL i'm just pulling your april. Try AOG.

[1ozzy]

Thanks for the heads up Doug.

Memo to self,, troll Eddie51 for useful tips.
Could be an educational journey.

[Old_Geezer]

But you won't find real English people here. We're all virtual English people, created by the ABAI.

[1ozzy]

Wolf63, That's been earmarked for further translation ;-)

Who the *** is St.George Spath?
Hmm, more education needed.
A couple of worthy suggestions there Spath, but, acronyms don't cut the ice..
Rhyming slang, well, that's another subject.

Help me out here Oldgeezer, it's been a long hot day and I'm a tad sunfried.

[spathiphyllum]

"Who the *** is St.George Spath? "

Just some nonce

[1ozzy]

That's interesting Spath.
Note to self, worship a nonce.

[spathiphyllum]

Yes, in a christian sense.

[1ozzy]

What if you're not a christian?

Would a musician do?

[spathiphyllum]

if you're not a christian then you can't be English can you, because you can't truly worship St George, our protector, our saviour, our light.

[spathiphyllum]

A musician would do, but you would have to play the triangle at the perfect time. It is critical that it is right on time. Else all will go to pot.

[1ozzy]

Ok.

[aelmpvw]

i once missed my cue for a cymbals crash at a school concert, thanks for reminding of that nightmare spath :-)

[1ozzy]

Aelmpvw, is that your most forgettable moment?
My pants once fell off in a school play.

I still blame Mum for being stingy with elastic ;-/

[Old_Geezer]

Surely you know what AB and AI stand for ?

[Bazile]

I is the one , lozzy
